Louisiana Receives High Ranking for Economic Development
BATON ROUGE - Louisiana has been awarded fourth place in the Business Facilities Magazine, a publication that provides relocation information for businesses, first ever State of the Year Award.
According to the magazine, the award recognizes the hard work of economic developers and singles out the state with the most economically significant relocation and expansion projects of the year.
"This ranking is really a story," Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco said. "It tells how Louisiana kept at its economic development mission, even in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, to move ahead of the nation in delivering quality jobs for our people. This was my goal, this was LED's work, and this will be our legacy."

Christmas Wishes for Louisiana
As my family gathers to celebrate the Christmas holiday - my last as your Governor - I must pause to consider this season of giving, and what I have been able to contribute while in office. One of the gifts I leave the state is a broader array of services for families, and a juvenile justice system that better meets the needs of our youth and has become a national model for reform.
